Genesis MCP Server

Verified

local-only server

The server can only run on the client’s local machine because it depends on local resources.

Integrations

  • Enables cloning of repositories from GitHub, used for retrieving the MCP server codebase.

  • Provides OS-level support for running Genesis World simulations with specific setup instructions.

  • Provides OS-level support for running Genesis World simulations with specific setup instructions.

Genesis MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Genesis World simulations with visualization support.

Quick Start

For the fastest way to get started with visualization:

# Run the simplified setup script (only installs what's needed) ./setup.sh # Run the stdio client (opens a visualization window) ./examples/stdio_client.py

This will directly start a Genesis World simulation with visualization using stdio transport.

Transport Method: stdio

This server uses stdio transport which is required for Genesis World visualization features. The visualization components require a local runtime and cannot work over network transports.

Setup

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8+
  • uv package manager (pip install uv)
  • npm (optional, for MCP Inspector)

Installation

Linux/macOS

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/username/genesis-mcp.git cd genesis-mcp # Run the setup script ./setup.sh # Activate the virtual environment source .venv/bin/activate

Windows

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/username/genesis-mcp.git cd genesis-mcp # Run the setup script setup.bat # Activate the virtual environment .venv\Scripts\activate.bat

Manual Installation with uv

If you prefer to install dependencies manually:

  1. Create a virtual environment:
    uv venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate # Linux/macOS .venv\Scripts\activate.bat # Windows
  2. Install dependencies from lock file:
    uv pip install -r requirements.lock uv pip install -e . uv pip install genesis==0.2.1 --no-deps
  3. Install MCP Inspector (optional):
    npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/inspector@0.6.0

Running the Server

# Run with stdio transport (required for visualization) ./start.sh ### Using with the MCP Inspector To use with the MCP Inspector for debugging: ```bash # In one terminal, start the inspector mcp-inspector # In another terminal, start the server with stdio transport python server.py

Configure the MCP Inspector with:

  • Transport Type: STDIO
  • Command: python
  • Arguments: server.py
